net: fec: use reinit_completion() in mdio accessor functions
Rather than re-initialising the entire completion on every mdio access, use reinit_completion() which only resets the completion count. This avoids possible reinitialisation of the contained spinlock and waitqueue while they may be in use (eg, mid-completion.) Such an event could occur if there's a long delay in interrupt handling causing the mdio accessor to time out, then a second access comes in while the interrupt handler on a different CPU has called complete(). Another scenario where this has been observed is while locking has been missing at the phy layer, allowing concurrent attempts to access the MDIO bus.
